    These things are generally quite easy to put together. Chances are you will simply need to remove all the packing, put the handlebars and saddle on and adjust them. They usually come with any tools required to get it together - although they are usually cheap crap quality tools.

    Quidco 6% ..If it is pricey (anything over £100) it may be worth looking into

    Could you ask Halfords to deliver to their nearest store to you and set it up for you there?

    Where do you live? I've heard bad things about Halfords bikes. Are you near a Decathlon? http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/your-decathlon-store-10695863/
  • There's nothing wrong with Halfords bikes, they do a very good range for the price.

    I wouldn't recommend home assembly of a bike if you don't know what you're doing.

    Hi, well we have lots of things off halfords including dh's 2 very good bikes which we have no complaint with so am not concerend at getting from them, it is only a cheap one anyway! I live in devon and was considering riging them and seeing what they say in regards to delivering to my local store or just go and get myself wed as it is £9-99 to deliver to me and for me to put togther!!
